  1. Welcome to the forums deckard! :)

     

    If you don't know exactly what some of the features under 'Advanced' do make certain you look at the Beginners Guide, and if that doesn't give you the info you need just create a new thread and ask, someone is bound to give an answer.

     

    Your tray icons were reset when you used 'Tray Notifications Cache' and rebooted. Its sole purpose is to remove the icons of uninstalled software which had tray icons and is a quick way of cleaning up the configuration area of Custom Notifications (I think CCleaner should rename this to what it is in Windows though).

     

    To reconfigure your tray icons do this:

    1. Right click a blank area on the Taskbar and select Properties

    2. Click Customize

  2. If you not a fan I'm not sure if this one will be for you.

     

    :lol: I'm tempted to make a comment after the one you had made some time ago in that old music thread about Black Metal and Death Metal. But I won't! :P To each their own.

  3. NVU all the way.

     

    I didn't know that Nvu was taking over where Mozilla Composer left off, and I liked Mozilla Composer so much it was the only reason I ever even installed Mozilla Suite in the first place. I'll have to check out Nvu because I really miss Mozilla Composer!

  4. They don't work and they slow down your computer is absolutely true. The real solution is to just buy more RAM instead of using placebo tools that don't do squat.

  5. You can import the settings by exporting this key to "ccleaner_settings.reg":

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner

     

    Then import it onto the other user profiles by double clicking it, although you may have to temporarily enable Admin rights for non-Admin accounts to import the settings.

     

    Edit:

    To have it auto-import at every system startup just use something like this in the global startup folder e.g.; C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Programs\Startup

    C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe /s "path to ccleaner_settings.reg"

     

    Which could look like this:

    C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe /s "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner_settings.reg"

  6. Yeah, sorry. How would I make it so they are thumbnails?

     

    Sorry I was rude, it seems like that now after I re-read my post.

     

    To display a thumbnail to the full sized image you just use the links that ImageShack give's which state it displays a thumbnail that links to the full sized image.

  7. Tarun..how did you recreate the problem?

     

    Although I can't speak for Tarun it should be easy enough to envoke by opening RegEdit and removing the permissions on either some known entries that get flagged by the Issues scanner, or by creating some bad entries without full permissions which cause the Issues scanner to detect them.

  8. Here's some shots for Project Gotham Racing 3 and a few other games taken from a HDTV...

     

    Nice pics, but next time you decide to post so damned many can you at least use the option to display a thumbnail versus the full size image? Remember there's people still on dial-up, and those images make the thread load rather slow.

  9. You can find out what's in the temp folder for that user profile by:

    1. Logging on to that user profile, not your admin account
    2. Clicking: Start->Run
    3. Type in: %temp%
    4. Click: OK
    5. In that temp folder click in the Windows Explorer toolbar: Edit->Select All
    6. Then click in the Windows Explorer toolbar whilst all files are selected: File->Delete

    Rather this fixes the issue or not I don't know, however it will cleanse out that temp folder.

  10. Yeah it's still a beta. But what I don't understand is why are allot of the AV developers starting these anti-rootkit programs when they could just add the detection into their already available anti-virus and anti-spyware software versus needing yet another program.

  11. Here's what I found out:

    • Installation doesn't create a System Restore point!
    • Installation requires a reboot because it installs a couple of drivers
      in 'C:\Windows\System 32\drivers'
      The two files are: 'anti_rkt.sys' and 'cleandrv.sys'
    • It writes registry data into:
      'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\AVGAntiRootKitBeta'
      'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_AVG_ANTI-ROOTKIT'
      'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_AVG_CLEAN_DRIVER'
    • The default scan is fast, even the thorough in-depth scan which checks
      all hard disks is rather fast.
    • The GUI is probably too big at it's default size for some monitors and/or
      display settings.
    • It can be uninstalled from 'Add or Remove Programs' in the Control Panel.
    • In order to remove the registry data it writes into
      'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root' you have to use a
      System Restore point from before the installation, or use an ERUNT backup.

     

    I would much prefer it didn't write any data into the registry or require the installation of drivers.

  12. The only problem I did encounter with Jetico was that it wouldn't remember my setting I'd choose even though I had the box ticked for it to remember my selection. For instance; having to click multiple times to allow an application access such as eTrust EZ Antivirus which has numerous .exe files that need full access in order to even have the resident shield active. After rebooting I'd have to tell it to allow the same apps all over again. Needless to say I uninstalled it, and used a System Restore point to make sure it was gone.

     

    However, while I was using it I did submit a log cleaner for it - so for anyone using Jetico keep checking the winapp2.ini thread when it's eventually added in there.

  13. agreed. especially with their new exploding laptops :P

     

    Yeah, but that's why Apple did a recall of a particular laptop or whatever they call their laptops. I heard it on the radio yesterday morning about a fire risk, they then mentioned the Dell incident.

     

    "If your laptop sets your crouch on fire or explodes it into bits, sue, sue, sue!"

     

    Edit:

    I posted on here using Internet Explorer, and my god no wonder I don't use it anymore, suck it does. The fonts are too small and the post window where text is typed in is so small I need binoculars. But hey the CCleaner logo at the upper left does line up perfectly unlike in Opera and Firefox where it doesn't.

  14. I'm trying out Jetico Personal Firewall now. So far the previous problem of a few open ports is gone from that older version I tested awhile back as it received a TruStealth rating on GRC.com. Also it's only using about 11-12 MB memory, but what's most important is I don't even notice any performance impact. It's not bad!

  15. From the comments of Stem I wouldn't touch the firewall with a barge pole.

     

    I then decided to try jetico and seemed ok.

     

    Well with your hardware firewall you probably won't notice Jetico's failings which from what I remember it had some open ports doing online firewall probing tests. Although that was awhile ago that I tested it, and since I don't have a hardware firewall their can't be any open exploitable ports.
